To ask the obvious, did you restart OpenLDAP after editing slapd.conf? Also, any errors in the log files for OpenLDAP? The error is more likely server-side, if you could run slapd with -d 255 instead. 255 might be a little high for the server-side, I'd be a little more selective. Is the database currently empty? Does slapcat dump the existing, possibly empty database?

Error code 49 indicates a wrong password!
Please make sure you typed the same password when creating the crypt-hash. Maybe you want to debug this part and use a clear-text password instead a hash at this position in your slapd.conf:

rootpw {crypt}49/WKVk.6oz3o

Btw. which ldap version do you use? Afaik it supports better hash mechanisms, like MD5 or SHA1. Not sure, but there may be a problem with the / in your crypt hash!?
